Please note that the collection crews are trained to check for contamination and are unable to empty any bin which contains the incorrect types of material. We accept that residents can sometimes place the wrong items in their bin by mistake, so the crews will help by identifying the reason for non-collection. We then ask our residents to remove the contamination before the wheeled bin gets emptied on your next scheduled collection day.

Please also remember to wash and squash where possible. By doing this you will be able to get more into your blue bin for recycling.

Recycling also needs to be placed loosely into the blue bin and not in bin liners.
